“The system will simplify the clarity grading process and provide accurate and objective mapping of the polished diamond, enhancing consumer trust in each diamond’s valuation,” the company’s spokesperson Tamar Brosh said.

It enables diamond manufacturers and traders to ensure that each individual stone is optimally valued for its ideal sales market, the company said.
